“I had to think for awhile about this (hence the reason I’m commenting so late) because I’ve never really thought of things as people taking a chance on me. But as I continued to think about it, it hit me. I’d say my best friend took a chance on me. When I was 10 my family started going to a new church that was rather large and our old church was so small our family of 11 was almost half of the congregation. So being the shy homeschooler I was it was quite a scary experience for me. And I will never forget the day that I walked into one of the Sunday schools and sat down by myself (It was a class for 6-12th grade so it was quite large) this girl came up to me and asked if I wanted to sit with her. I did and we have been best friends ever since. I can’t imagine not having her in my life and I’m forever grateful that she took the chance to befriend the new shy girl in the jumper!”
